Bev and Shirley go mobile, when the salon is closed down by environmental health.

by Steve Chambers and Phil Nodding. 

1/5 Bridgford is blessed with the meanest hairdresser in Britain, and the stupidest. Bev and Shirley go mobile when the salon is closed down by environmental health.

Directed by Jessica Dromgoole


The enduring comedy of Bev, the bitter and vindictive Chief Stylist, played by Lorraine Ashbourne, and Shirley, her fond and foolish assistant, played by Rosie Cavaliero. 

Originally piloted as an Afternoon Play, HighLites is now on its second 15 minute series, with another commissioned for next year.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
